Why only a test and not a full panel? That WOULD tell the entire story.

More of the same over the last couple of days. Ive managed to get the weight back up and im sitting at 196lbs. If im being honest, although ive packed on some new size I really question if it will be enough to make a solid statement in Classic Physique. One thing I can tell you for sure is the gear is still no replacement for time..true time to allow for growth. It has been a real learning experience to better understand how your body responds to changes in diet, training and or gear. One thing is for sure and ive said it many times before but for you really big boys I got to nod my hat to you as the maintenance of that size is just something else. As ive began to cut ive really enjoyed the slight restrictions over the forced eatings. Whats also been a blessing for me this go round has been carb cycling. I can really feel the difference but more importantly can see a fullness that just wasnt there in a defecit before.
Having recently posted bloods and marking my six week point ive got to say I feel good most days but at times have felt somewhat drained when not working out. As ive previously mentioned, I only pin glutes and although I dont have any pip issues to relay, I am certainly beginning to feel sore and as usual its the Ventro Glute that tends to give me problems.
Other than this, everything is on track and with close to 3 months to prep I am feeling pretty good. These days its more mental, once at the gym the metamorphis takes place and the body just blocks everything out and gets to work.

Hope everyone is doing well and I should finally be posting some updated pics soon!!!

Well the innner struggle continues and hopefully in a few weeks I will be better equipped to determine which division I will shoot for this season. Call it foolish thinking but if you truly dont believe you have a shot to win then there is no sense in competing so with that philosophy its crucial that I believe in the frame size if I do intend to compete in Classic Physique this season.

Had the chance to peep out the Ronnie Coleman Classic over the weekend and more than anything paid close attention to

DIVISION “C” (OVER 5’ 10”, UP TO AND INCLUDING 6’0″)

Over 5’ 10”, up to and including 5” 11” Up to and Including 200 lbs

Recently I have questioned my size and how likely I am to compete in the division if I truly dont have a chance to place..ive got to admit that thought has weighed heavily on me as I went thru alot in the off season putting on some size in the first place but more than that is the idea that you just didnt hit your mark and for me thats just not an option. I mean to endure the constant pins and diet and workouts it cant be for nothing so back to the show. I saw that size and mass is almost subjectable in the sense whats "big" to you may not be "big" to the next judge..you get the point, but conditioning is undeniable. I took some time to go back and study and watch some Frank Zane stuff and that really sealed the deal for me as to know at 187lbs he knew it wasnt the size that would make him stand out against the monsters of old. Better yet I watched some stuff on Danny Padilla who in his case his shortness was his issue but in his mind he said he always carried himself like a 6 footer. Nonetheless after seeing some average competitors and great ones as well I knew I could still hold my own. So although in my mind I may question overall size, I realize what I do with the size that matters. You can walk on that stage at a maxed out 200lbs but if the conditioning isnt there than at that exact moment the size no longer matters.
Other than that its been the daily grind.Yesterday was chest day and ive began to really focus on upper chest development and overall shape and hardness of the muscle.

good post. yea you gotta work to your strengths bro. zane was never going to be anyone with size so he beat them with condition, posing, and shape. Ferrigno on the other hand was never going to beat anyone on shape and symmetry so he beat them with size. work towards your strength. not against it.

Yesterday was a rest day for me and what I have began to realize and more importantly what I have truly started to appreciate is the mental break needed while on a prep. Last season I didnt mind grinding my head and body into the ground as I figured it was the struggle and price to pay to really compete. This season not so much. I realize the mental fatigue is often just as great as the physical and from time to time you have to get your mind right. The expectation level is so much greater this go round so the mental wherewithall often gets put to the test. I recently had to explain to someone that im not admiring my muscles in the mirror..im picking apart my weaknesses which is always tough for us as humans. Its hard to put those flaws on display and day in day out just dissecting yourself. Nevertheless its the grind so ive been finding the days off to be beneficial as I find myself doing manual work to keep the tank moving and on the flipside its a nice getaway from the daily hustle. Not to say im at the end of my rope or anything but I enjoy sharing these points as so many assume its all muscle in this life..so its good to give others a peak into whats going on behind the scenes.
Other than this things are going great. I enjoy this new bit of size and as the body has started leaning out im seeing more of the guy I recognize! My workouts have hit a solid point and im really pleased with the regiment at the moment.
Its all coming together now its just a matter of nailing down the finer points of the frame before I step on stage for the first show of the year.

Stay well brothers! Thanks for reading and I appreciate the support!
